I .44 4 thai but we are viz. strongly inclined to doubt the a€curacy of this intel ligence. The Sovereign Junta was to assemble for the first time on Monday last. It is stated that the Austrian Consul at Carthagena, has been employed by his Court in colleaing the Spanish Manifestoes, acconntg of battles, &c. for the purpose of being sent to Vienna, in ordet to` be; compared with the French statements of the same transactions. The Court of Vienna, we thOuldVon ceive, must be sufficiehtly acquainted with the false- hood and artifices of France,but the Spanish Addresses, Proclamations, &c. &c. so .nobly manifest the spirit, virtue, and wisdom of the people, and are so honour able to their national cbaraaer, that a colleaion of those admirable memorials of loyalty, patriotism, and freedom,, most be desirable- in every country where such qualities are held in due veneration. We have received Dutch Papers to the . 90th ult. but the intelligence they contain is not of very great. importance. Aluß AT arrived at Naples on the Gth ult. Several of the principal Aalors and Adresses.belong.• ing to Ciao French Theatre have been ordered to . Ger. many, to perform before the EmrErtott of RUSSIA. His Royal Highness the Prince of WALES was to reach Stowe on Sunday from the Marchioness of DOWNSHIRE'S Seat at Ontbersley, on a visit of a week to the Matquis of BUCKINGHAM . . His Royal Highness the Dike of Su , - .;si?,x, who has accompanied the Prince on his tour this summer, was to accom, pany him. . Letters of a recent date from Riga state, that -the Senate of that city had 'petitioned the• Emperor. ALEXANDER not to quit his dominions' for the pur-, pose of meeting BUONAPARTE. The answer re turned to this representation is said to have been "that the Senate would better consult its duty, by attending to those concerns which were within the limits of its fundions, than by interfering in affairs of State." The person who transmitted this in formation, added, that the reply excited no surprise ; fOr it was impossible his Imperial Majesty .could make any other, while be hail CAuLiNcoutiT at his elbow. 'Considering the despotic nature of the Rus sian Government, we feel inclined to doubt that the Senate of Riga has ventured to make such a remon strance. That sonic of the Nobles may have done so, is probible enough. Their rank and connexions might insure thent impunity; and instances are not wanting in the history of that country when they have so interfered. But fora body, purely civil and commercial, to assume the privilege of dtAating .to their Sovereign, is what we believe, in the present condition of the Russian monarchy, could not be safely attempted. Such an ad of presumption would very likely draw down on its authors the punishment of a journey to Siberia. It appears from these letters, that sanguine expec tations had been entertained for some time at Riga of peace bet Ween Russia and this country. It is extra ordinary that they make no mention of the perilous state of the squadron i 3 Baltic Port, or of the dis graceful manner in which it sought shelter there. The Spanish Army from the Island of Langeland must have landed at St. Andero some days ago, as they were seen off the Lizard on the ` ) .5111 ult. and it was understood that they were 'steering for St.. Andero, in consequence of instrualous transmitted to then') from this country. These instra .lions were sent out in order to change their destination, Co. runny being the place for which they were originally direded to steer. At, St. Andero they will be more convenient to the main body of the Spanish three, and can more readily be brought into action. Letters to the 17f,h ult. have been received from Lisbon.

A case of considerable interest has lately occurred at Barbadoes :—A Mulatto Slave, belonging to Mrs. Moll,' was charged, on the Coroner's Inquest, with the wanton and wilful murder of a Negro belonging to Miss Weekes, a minor. The fellow escaped from justice, and, while in concealment, .his mistress, with the prescribed forms, gives him his freedom; when he surrendered himself, as it was.: he evidence of slaves that convkted him of the murder, while a slave can not be adduced against him as a free man I We find, by the Barbadoes Paper of the 18th June,, that he was brought to the bar at t he late Sessions, for the purpose of being discharged; but was detained, on the .rnotion of the ATTORNEY-GE.NER AL , Qll the &mind' that there was a white evidence ,against him, who would appear at the next Sessions, alth o u g h at that tithe off the Island.
